大陸中国の偵察機が九州あたりの小島の辺りで領空侵犯。こうまでの挑発行動はめったに見なかったはずの地域なのに。
BBC Japan says Chinese spy plane violated its airspace 3 hours ago
Joel Guinto and Nick Marsh
日本側は大変な遺憾の意を表する。「決して受け入れられない」というのは結構強い。今後このようなことがないようによくよく注意されたし―。
「Japan has accused a Chinese spy plane of breaching its airspace, in what would be the first known instance of such a direct violation.
Japan scrambled fighter jets after a Y-9 surveillance plane "violated the territorial airspace" of Danjo Islands for about two minutes at 11:29 local time Monday (02:29 GMT).
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary called the breach "utterly unacceptable" and summoned a Chinese embassy official in Tokyo in protest.」
先方さんとしてはなんら侵略的意図はなく、関係省庁は何が起こったものか調査中であるとする。なんだそれは関東軍化か? あぶないぞそれ?
「The Japanese government said it had contacted Beijing through diplomatic channels to lodge a strong protest over the incursion and demand the prevention of such breaches in the future.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said they had "no intention of invading the airspace of any country" and that relevant departments were still trying to understand the situation, reported Reuters.」
…まあその、日本側としては先日尖閣諸島で大陸中国の船を止めてみたり。他方で先月、大陸中国は航空機で台湾に一日66回ものアプローチを仕掛けてみたり。
「Tokyo also recently flagged the presence of Chinese ships in the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, which are claimed by China and which Beijing calls the Diaoyus.
The islands, which are uninhabited but potentially possess oil and gas reserves, are one of several sources of tension between Beijing and its neighbours - most of whom are American allies.」
「In a single day last month, Taiwan's defence ministry reported 66 incursions by Chinese military aircraft across the so-called 'median line' - an informal border between the two sides in the Taiwan Strait.
Beijing does not recognise the median line and, according to Taiwan, its planes have breached it hundreds of times in the past two years.」
…これらは、中国側とすれば「お前らの設定した境界なんか認知してやってないもん!」で済むには済むのだが(そういう問題ではちょっとないが)、領空はマズいのだ。
ちょーっと中国のアプローチが積極化してきているのかもしれず、ちょっと嫌な感じですわね。ンな余裕あんのかお前ら、と思うと、まあ余裕がない時にこそ外には強めに出て国論統一の資源の一つにしがちですかねと思われ、せやからそれは大日本帝国でやってたりしなかったかという気もするのである。
